The maggie McCarty Murder.

CLEVELAND, O., April 27.-rhe murder of
Maggie McCarty still remains the shroud-
ed mystery that it was from the first, al
though the detectives have been working
diligently on every thing that promises to
give the slightest results. The social re-
lations of the victim have been inyes-
tigated, and the police know every one
with whom she has associated for over
wear past Yet they are in the dark as
much as ever and the crime, in all prob
ability, will be handed down as one the
unsolved murders that are becoming
alarmingly prevalent of late in Cleveland.

man.
CHARLESTON, S. c., April 27.-The cele-
bration of the unwilling of the statue to
John c. Calhoun in this city yesterday was
an event which the people of the State
have looked forward for many years, and
large numbers came, therefore, from every
part of the State to take part in it, or to
witness the proceedings. The entire
population of the city also turned out
en- masse the result being q pa
rade and Assem- blage of sight seers such
as rarely witnessed in the South, the
number OF men in the ranks in the various
military and civil organizations is estimated
at 5000 The line of march extended from
the battery up Meeting street to Marion
Square, the site of the statue, and the
whole route was lined with dense throngs
of people, who overfiowed the sidewalks
and filled the doorways, windows and bal
comics from the basement to the attic Of
very building. The number of spectators
along the route was not less than 20 900 and
the crowd that gathered around
the statue was but little less.
There was a liberal display of bunt-
ing everywhere, the United States
flag occupying a conspicuous place in the
column, on the houses and in the speakers
stand. The statue was draped by the State
away by six little children, while thirty
five young ladies and misses stood around
as sponsors. Most of them are relatives Of
Mr.. Calhoun. Six baby JEWELLERS pulled
the ropes under the supervision of the at
tending young ladies. The babies were Julia
Calhoun. great-granddaughter of the states
man; William Lowndes Calhoun, his great
grandson; r. Putnam Calhoun, Jr, great
grandson and great granddaughter of Cen
eral Putnam: Sadie Anerum, great grand
niece; Floride Calhoun Pickens and Floride
Payne johnson. The dedicatory prayer
vas made by Rev. C. c. Pinkney, who was
presented to the audience by Mayor Court
enay, who presided. Then followed an ode
to Calhoun by Miss E. E. Chesebrough,
read by Rev. c. A. Stakeley. Follow
ing this came the Grafton of Secretary
Lamar which was followed by another
Calhoun ode, written by Margaret Preston
and read by Rev. DR.. Juukln, and then
came the benediction, pronounced oy Rev.
John c. Wilson. Secretary Lamar's speech,
which occupied two hours, was received
with the deepest attention and frequent ap-
pIauSe.

Robbers Attack q Southern Pacific Express
Train In Arizona-1hey Bring the Train
Men to Time with Dynamite = The
Amount Secured Not Large.
Tucson, Ariz-, April 29.-The Southern
Pacific western bound express, due here at
1870 last evening, was stopped and robbed
at Papago station, sixteen miles east of
here, about $50 o'clock Wednesday even
ing. The number Of men engaged in the
robbery is variously estimated from five TO
eight Cal Harper, the engineer, when APP
preaching Papago, side station, was sig
nailed by a red lantern to stop. He slowed
down, and, as he approached the
light he noticed distractions on the
track so placed that in case he
failed to stop the engine would spread the
track and derail itself. Immediately on
stopping dozen or more shots were fired
into the express car, and man with pis-
toll in each hand boarded the locomotive
and commanded Harper not TO get down.
The other robbers had in the meantime
been prying at the express car door, and
failing to get it open they placed a stick OF
giant powder under it and compelled Har-
per TO light the fuse attached. This he
was obliged to do, but TO avoid being blown
up, the messenger opened the car and the
robbers took possession After ex-
tinguishing the fuse the men took
charge of the car, uncoupled the engine,
baggage and express car from the remain
der of the train and made Harper get on
the engine and pull ahead two lengths.
This being done, Harper was again put on
and the robbers took charge of the engine
and pulled six miles toward Tucson. Here
they killed the engine and left 1t. During
the run the robbers went through the mail
and express cars, but did not get more than
5000 They got two packages OF railroad
money, one of 81, 220 and the other of $500,
and also two packages of postage stamps
going to the post office at San Francisco. 1t
IS reported that the express messenger
threw s., 500 in gold into stove, and so
saved it from the robbers. Nothing was
known here of the affair until past mid
night, when a telegram was received from
Pantano-a brakeman having walked back
eight miles to that place. A special was
sent down and the train brought i'll at six
o'clock yesterday morning. None Of
the passengers were molested and
some of them knew nothing OF the
trouble Until after their arrival here I'm
der Sheriff Shibell was carly at the scene
of trouble, but could discover nothing that
would lead to the identity of the robbers.
Ten trailers under Deputy Sheriff NJ. F.
Shaw have left for the scene of the trouble.
The robbers are believed to be discharged
railroad employees, although they compelled
Engineer Harper TO show them how to
handle the locomotive. 1t is believed by
their actions in handling the train that they
were familiar with such work.

FISHERY PERPLExITlES.
The Value of Alaska Seal Fisheries Neces-
sitates Il 1emnerate Comrse.

The Value of Alaska Seal Fisheries Neces-
states a Temperate Course.
WAsHINGToN, April 29.-The Department
of State is carefully considering the ques-
ton of the jurisdiction of the United States
over the Alaskan fur seal fisheries. The
statement made in the Canadian Parlia-
ment yesterday to the effect that a COM
munication on the subject had been sent by
that Government to Secretary Bayard IS
denied by the State Department, and it is
said that all of the correspondence touch
ing fisheries has been carried on directly
with the Government of Great Britain.
This fact, it is believed, will ex-
plain the delay in hearing from the
State Department, of which complaint
has been made at Ottawa. The United
States laws under which certain Brit
ish Columbian vessels were seized by the
revenue cutter Corwin last season are more
than twenty years old, and the question of
a conflict between them and the law of ma
tions is one peculiarly knotty and difficult
of settlement The fact that the question
has been raised strengthens the Depart
ment of State in its determination to con-
tinue to pursue the temperate course 1t has
so far followed in the negotiations with
Great Britain concerning the Canadian
fisheries. The vast Alaskan fisheries
are thought TO be quite as important to
this country are the Nova Scotian in
shore fisheries, and the State Department
Is necessarily obliged to so shape its con-
structIon of laws and treaties as to pre-
serve the right of the United States to the
exclusive enjoyment of the Alaskan
fisheries, while maintaining the treaty
rights of our fishermen in North American
waters. 1t is held that there can not be
two constructions of the laws, and any
position assumed by the department must
apply equally to Atlantic and Pacific
waters.

the POLITICAL CRISIS.

1t is too soon to express an
opinion regarding the results of the
popular uprising and protest against
recent administrative methods, but
it is proper to say that it was con-
Quoted vigorously and with due re-
gard to public order and safety.
This result is eminently satisfactory,
and a guarantee for the future. Our
young men made great personal
sacrifices and undertook no little
risk in this matter, and are deserv-
ing of all praise. The willingness
with which liquor dealers closed
their doors during the crisis is also
praiseworthy on their part. In
deed, the law abiding element
everywhere asserted itself. Upon
this subject, therefore, there is no
more to be said except to advise all
classes to resume their ordinary
avocations, and leave the manage
ment and control of affairs to the
regularly organized and responsible
Government. They are abundantly
competent to preserve peace and
protect life and property.

few soreheads who wanted office.
Now is the time to show the falsity
OF this accusation by disregarding
all purely party claims, and by
making appointments solely on the
ground Of fitness and merit.
There are many honorable and
efficient men in the various depart
ments Of the Government, some of
whom have served the public faith
fully under different administra-
tions, and others of more recent
appointment. OF course, the Gov
eminent will never think of remov-
ing any such public servants.
AS we have repeatedly said in
the past, our opposition has been
opposition to incompetence and cor
ruption, and to incompetent and
corrupt men, and our advocacy has
been an advocacy of principles and
men to carry them out. We are
perfectly unconcerned as to who is
Gin" or who is "out," either as
ministers or subordinates, as long
as honest, upright, and competent
men are selected.
The Daily bulletin. [volume] (Honolulu [Hawaii]) 1882-1895, 1887-07-02
WHOM TO APPOINT.

In view of the turn justly taken
in the direction of public affairs it
will probably be found necessary to
make a clean sweep of many of the
appointments to Office which have
been made under the late regime.
We would beg to point out to
the present administration that they
themselves have been appointed to
office in accordance with the public
desire to have an end put to incom-
petence and corruption. 1t will
therefore be at once seen that it is
their duty to revise their stats in
accordance with that desire. But
it is not enough to remove insult
able persons from office; the new
appointees must be men of character
and competence. The charge has
often been made in the past that
the Independent party was simply
